Calypso (comics)

Created by writer Denny O'Neil and artist Alan Weiss, the character first appeared in Amazing Spider-Man #209 (October 1980).

[5] Since her original introduction in comics, the character has been featured in various other Marvel-licensed products, including animated television series and video games.

The character made her live-action debut in the Sony's Spider-Man Universe (SSU) film Kraven the Hunter, played by Ariana DeBose.

[12] She resurfaces abducting Haitian refugees, turning some into zombie slaves and selling the rest back to her homeland's government.

[13] Calypso briefly enthralls Daredevil, but he breaks free of her control, and she seemingly dies yet again when the spirits of those she turned into zombies overwhelm her.

[14] Cheating death once more, she flees to New Orleans, where her obsession with necromancy leads her to the resting place of Simon Garth, a self-aware zombie.

[18] Commanding a squad of savages, Calypso later attacks Spider-Man and Alyosha Kravinoff, the son of the original Kraven the Hunter.

[31] Calypso Ezili appears in Kraven the Hunter, portrayed by Ariana DeBose as an adult[36] and Diaana Babnicova as a child.

This version received a potion from her grandmother that she would later use to save Sergei Kravinoff's life and grant him the abilities of nature's greatest predators.

Sixteen years later, she has become a successful lawyer and a master of archery as she reunites with Sergei (now known as Kraven) and assists him in his hunt for the criminals on his list.
